461 West 144th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

461 West 144th Street is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building located in Hamilton Heights, owned by Pamela Shaw Tully and constructed in 1890. The building has several notable issues requiring attention, particularly a pattern of maintenance non-compliance relating to annual reporting requirements.

Most concerning is the repeated failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024, representing an ongoing violation of Housing Maintenance Code requirements. Additionally, there are three active Department of Buildings violations related to inspection report filings: two for failure to file 2022 and 2018 external low pressure inspections (both issued in 2023) and one from 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. Despite these active violations, the building has maintained consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all evaluations from 2016 through mid-2025.

The building's rodent-free status over nearly a decade demonstrates effective pest management in this regard. While the rodent inspections provide some assurance of overall building maintenance, the recurring issues with bedbug report filings and the three active DOB violations regarding required inspection report submissions represent notable gaps in compliance with city regulations. These violations, particularly the bedbug reporting issue, suggest a pattern of oversight regarding mandatory building maintenance requirements, though the building's age and history as a converted Class B structure should be considered in this context.
